Nightfall Parade

The sun rises and the sky's shade is blue
Then the lights, they fade and serenade
An onyx black night parade

At nightfall they sing, gently ringing their handbells
Celesta's timbre ringing, shining the night sky
All of these lies, watch them fade into starlight
None will remain, not a trace of parade

Only to rise again the next day

The sun rises and the sky's shade is blue
Then the sun will dim, and lightly will
Onyx take over it

I dreamed once of reaching the night sky
Now I know those were all hopeless lies
Mother said, "Keep your aspirations."
Now I know they are your damnation

I dreamed once of reaching the night sky
(I remember)
Now I know those were all hopeless lies
(Dark September)
Mother said, "Keep your aspirations."
(The day they took)
Now I know they are your damnation
(Them away)

At nightfall they sing, gently ringing their handbells
Snare drum's timbre ringing, killing the night sky
All of these lies, watch them fade into starlight
None will remain, not a trace of parade

Didn't you know? All those words you had stated
Would come to end the parade of the night sky
All of your lies, watch them fade into starlight
None will remain, only colors of grey

No shade of gold could bring us light
